24' Superboat with twin 250 Verados?
 
Hey, I'm considering a new project to install twin Verado 250's on a 1993 non-step Superboat. Will the transom and stringers support the extra ~400 lb of engine weight?

Thanks,
Mike

Ok nevermind. . . just talked to John Coen. His answer was "no, no, no, and no". Guess that saves me some headache. I'm impressed that he took the time to talk to me!

Isn't the weight of each Verado around 620+ lbs.

Since I have some experienced ears, what would be a good 23-25' twin-OB Vee with a small cuddy?

Wow, that is a lot of weight on the back of a 24' boat.

The 24x7 hulls in my honest opinion are better suited for single o/b applications, they can and have been done in twin engine applications but can be veryyyy sensitive.
An 8' beam like a Banana is a better platform for twins.
